For babies
and toddlers, the presence of a parent is required. When
the child is autonomous, and up to the age of three and
a half, the presence of a parent is accepted. For all others,
the presence of a parent is not allowed (except for multiple
children of the same family, one of the children is still
a baby or a toddler). |
How to participate
The School of Conscious Life is part of the
International Gaiayoga Foundation, a non-profit organisation
that is supported by donations. The donations allow us to provide
you with our services and to produce the School's teaching material.
In order to help you determine a fair and balanced
amount for your donation, you will find below suggested amounts
for your donation, according to the number of children from
your family participating in the workshop.
Suggested donation:
- 1 child: 250$ CAD or more
- 2 children from the same
family: 475$ CAD or more
- 3 children from the same
family: 675$ CAD or more
Your child will then have
access to:
- the workshop
- all meals (vegetarian)
- lodging in the dormitory
- heated swimming pool
- hand crafts material as well as woodwork
and weaving classes
For parents accompanying
their young children:
- The first parent does not give
a donation for the workshop but is asked to participate in
the communal work and to contribute to the cost of food with
a donation.
- The second parent gives a donation
equivalent to the participation of one child, that is 275$ CAD
or more.
Please
make sure you have money to make your donation preferably
in cash. This request comes from our choice of using as
little as possible a banking system which supports wars and
human exploitation. We offer you the possibility to join us
in this choice...
